Looking at the ingredients of the Hickory Farm mints, those are basically colored and flavored candy melts and nonpareils.

No, Meltaway Mints are basically vanilla cream and mint, they’re like non-chocolate Hershey’s Kisses with nonpariels on their butts. Buttermints are like if someone aerated a peppermint until it went from a rock hard candy to an edible Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, and despite how that sounds, they’re actually incredibly

Ooh, this is a very interesting question! I’ve never had the Hickory Farms mints (they look fantastic), but they almost look like some sort of buttermint-nonpariel hybrid? A classic buttermint recipe might be a good place to start!

Home Alone totally holds up. I watched it with my kids last year and they could not get enough, and I liked it a lot more than I remembered.

Ehh while he seems to do nice things, that doesn’t exactly translate to day time talk show. He’s like a shock jock in persona.

Listen, I need you to write an article about how playing Animal Crossing for hours and eating nothing but pizza rolls is good for me. Like I really need that right now. 

Not to toot my own horn but what do you call it when someone organizes the carts in the cart corral? Or returns a cart to the store that’s sitting in the parking lot because I’m, I mean they, are on their way in anyway so what’s the big deal? (I don’t do that right now because of Covid but is walking a loose cart to

I applaud the AV Club stance on this!

They JUST got the Christopher Guest mockumentaries! Why are they leaving so quickly???

Honestly, the worst offenders on Disney+ in my opinion are their animated series, almost all of them are listed in their “syndication airing order” rather than the actual, chronological story order (and for some that makes a fair bit of difference). Disney has the chance of actually showing all episodes in their

In grad school I remember reading an article that was presented as a book review of Don Quixote, but not the Don Quixote of Miguel de Cervantes, the Don Quixote of a modern author who literally (in this fictional exercise) rewrote it word for word. It was then analyzed in the modern day context and contrasted with the

I know it’s not perfect, but I still think Michael Pollan’s “Eat real food, not too much, and mostly plants,” is about as good as it gets for simple dietary advice, particularly for people currently eating a typical American diet.

You know what I like about AllRecipe - it gives you the recipe. I don’t have to scroll for 3 days past a novella about how the recipe changed your families life, made you the hero of every social function ever, and retroactively won World War I. Just give me the bloody recipe (or give it first, then write your magnum

The reason I love the untrendy anonymous sites is that they are masters of SEO.

I’m hanging onto mine for dear life. Nobody knows how long this will go for. There’s talks of recurring stimulus payments, but I gotta plan for the worst. Even if they come through, I’ll be hanging onto those as well and only spending what I have to on food, rent and utilities. That being said, I’m in a pretty sweet

Did you, uh, read it? There were words that were formed into sentences, and those sentences laid out a bunch of details about how eating (or not) affects a workout. I think that was the point of the article, personally.
